Shift 7 matters because we want to teach our students the problem solving skills and perseverance. The process is important- not just the answer. If we stay at a 1, our students will not have the skills set for solving problems in math &/or outside of the math classroom.

If this shift remained on the left side of the continuum, we would be stripping our scholars of having the ability to deepen their mathematical understandings, therefore, lessening their depth of knowledge as well as ability to listen, think, and respond.

Having a toolbox of strategies to pull from creates a real-world problem solver.  Without this shift, we would be keeping student learning and application in the classroom when the focus should be extending outside of it.

In order to accomplish some of the other shifts, I think it's important that students understand math takes time and that it's important that we go beyond the answer. This is really the foundation to building upon student discourse, deepening thinking, etc. so staying on the low end of the spectrum here, would affect our ability to move forward in other areas.

This shift matters because it can take us from direct instruction into peer to peer learning and whole class learning. This can also help students start to filter what strategies work the best when they see them shared and compared to other examples.

Shift 8 matters because if we encourage thinking, we encourage problem solving. Thinking is the fun part about Math.

Teachers and students both benefit from understanding that learning/education/math are complex and take time. Rarely, if ever, do we just "get it". Many students, and educators, often indicate, however, that given a learning tasks difficult nature that it just isn't worth the time. The more we can cultivate a sense of appreciation for the complexity of the learning process, as well as the particulars of the curriculum, the more engaged our students will be and the more successful we will be in the process.

Having our scholars understand the importance of a trial-by-error basis in math is paramount. Staying on the left end of the continuum would not allow our scholars to truly dive into being effective independent problem solvers, and in turn, how math can truly be world changing to them on a broader spectrum.

Like we discussed, it is important that we encourage students to look beyond the correct answer and use tools properly.  If not, they just continue to guess and give up when they run into a challenging problem.  That is what occurs both in math and real life.  We want them to grow beyond this!

Shift 2 is important because if we can't develop tasks that allow our students to reason rather than practice routines, they will never be in the mindset to apply their thinking to the real world.
